Notable buildings
Rytterhuset was built in 1889 as summer residence for the painter Frants Henningsen to a National Romantic design by Martin Nyrop. The property, including a jetty with a bathhouse and a couple of outbuildings, is now listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places. Nordre Strandvej 140, a half-timbered house from 1819, is also listed. Hellebæk Church is, in spite of its name, also located in Ålsgårde.Notable people
